In the words of Inigo...

Note to the seventeen spammers I had post unwelcome advertisements in my comments section today. And the eleven from yesterday and the six on Thursday. And the ones that will inevitably show up tomorrow.

Yeah, you guys, we need to chat. Your pathetic, parasitic methodology leaves something to be desired.

A little hint also seems in order at this juncture: associating the product you are advertising with being as ANNOYING AS POSSIBLE by hijacking and spamming the comments sections of random people's blogs is not a well-thought out marketing campaign.

And even if it was, filtering your attempts and targeting them properly might be in order. Just for the record, I am not a hot prospect for Viagra or male pattern baldness treatments, guys.

You're way off.

Way,
way,
way off.

I think I speak for all of us when I stick out my tongue in your general direction. Please kindly retire your practice of hiding blatant advertisements in our collective blog comment sections, ok? This seems to be a fairly universal phenomenon at the moment. We just get cranky and end up erasing your comments/ads anyway. They don't achieve what you think they achieve. With deference to my beloved Inigo Montoya, "You keep on using these stupid ad techniques. I do not think they do what you think they do."


I am now using a new tool in my comments section which requires word authentication before a comment can be posted. See guys? Take that! I am intent on out-manuevering you, and am confident I will eventually win this battle..I am sure there are more respectable, less annoying methods of getting your point across. Because there sure are not many that are MORE annoying, let me tell you.

Thank you. We now return to your regularly scheduled programming.

I thought you were going to use "you spammed by blogspot, prepare to die". I'm glad you went with the tamer Inigo!

Maria, I like your version! When the X-rated spams came in, that was the clincher for me. I do not want to be running a free billboard service for Perky Pete's Pornography here, ya know?

Honesty, can we make T-shirts? Good grief. There is a reason Spam is served with fish in Maui. They fish hides the stink. :)
